Chapter 3017
"Hmph, I knew he was up to no good," Lulu said indignantly, reflecting on their last encounter with
Lawrence. His demeanor had been oddly unsettling, confirming her worst suspicions about him.
Nicole, with a meaningful tone, reassured her, "Don't worry. Now that Everett is back, his true intentions
will soon be revealed."
The truth would come to light, regardless of whether he was Everett or Lexter Wright. Nicole was
determined to make him pay for his actions.
Lulu, recalling Benjamin, expressed her concern, "But we can't keep this hidden, can we? What about
your grandfather..."
"I think Grandpa will handle it calmly," Nicole replied, biting her lip slightly.
Lulu sighed, "I hope so."

"I'll join you," Lulu offered.
They decided to visit the family's old manor after work, also calling June to join them.
As evening approached, the Riddle family manor was bustling with activity.
"Great-grandpa!" Nolan and Lana ran in, heading straight for Benjamin.
Seeing the two little ones, Benjamin's face lit up with joy.
"Grandpa," greeted Nicole and Jared as they entered, followed by Lulu, June, and others. Stanley and
Tia were already there, seated on the couch.
"You guys are quick," Lulu said with a smile, looking at Tia and Stanley.
Stanley explained, "We didn't pick up Nolan and Lana; we came straight from home."
Lulu continued the conversation, "We haven't been home recently. How's the new house coming
along?"
Tia's cheeks turned a slight red as Stanley replied, "It's still in preparation."
"But speaking of which, now that you're preparing the house, shouldn’t you start planning your
wedding?" June interjected with a reminder.
"I don't think it's time yet," Stanley said, glancing meaningfully at Nicole and Jared. "I heard they might
be preparing for a wedding."
Really?" Lulu and June exclaimed in surprise.
How could they not know about this? Nicole hadn't mentioned a word to them.
Benjamin looked at Nicole and Jared with a mix of curiosity and anticipation in his eyes.
Biting her lip slightly, Nicole's voice was soft, "It seems not yet."
"Ah, but this is a happy occasion! Once everything is ready, why wait any longer?" Karen said with a
smile.
"Indeed," the others echoed, their curiosity evident.

Gloria, pulling Nicole aside, asked, ' Didn't you say there was nothing much happening recently?"
Nicole remained silent, her expression betraying a hint of hesitation.
"You mean because of..." Lulu realized something, sighing helplessly.
"What’s going on?" June asked Lulu, noticing her knowledge of the situation.
Lulu glanced at Benjamin, who furrowed his brow and said," Just speak up if there's something."
"What's the matter?" The urgency in everyone's voices grew, sensing that something significant had
happened.
Biting her lip, Lulu spoke softly, "Actually, today at the bidding, we encountered Everett, who now goes
by Lexter Wright..."
"He dared to come back!" Karen exploded in anger. "After what he did to dad and then framing us, how
could he dare return?"
